FAQs
Can I use these on any rug brand?
These straps are universal for most rug systems that use D-rings or loops, but please check your specific rug's hardware to ensure a proper fit for the swivel hook.
How do I determine the correct length?
Adjust the strap so that it rests comfortably between the horse's hind legs without being so loose that it hangs, or so tight that it restricts movement.
Are these machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash the straps in warm soapy water to avoid damaging the metal hooks in a washing machine.
Does the pack contain two of the same length?
Yes, the pack contains two identical replacement straps.
What should I do if the hook rusts?
Regularly cleaning and drying the hardware after use in wet weather is the best way to prevent oxidation.
Troubleshooting
Swivel hook is stiff or difficult to open
Check for dried mud or debris in the mechanism and rinse with clean water, then apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Strap keeps slipping loose
Ensure the adjustment slider is pushed fully into the locked position and verify that the strap length is not too short, which causes excessive tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply feed the loop end through the rug's D-ring or attachment point and secure the swivel hook to the corresponding side. Ensure the straps are adjusted evenly on both sides to prevent the rug from sitting crookedly. Compatibility is generally broad, but always cross-reference your rug's attachment system to ensure the swivel hooks fit correctly. For care, keep the hardware free of excessive mud and grit; a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth after particularly wet days will help maintain the swivel mechanism's functionality and prevent premature corrosion.
